# Leasing

Quantum GFX enables potential lenders to leverage dormant GPU assets and democratizing worldwide access to GPU resources.

**Lending Process:**

**Node Listing:** To kick off the lending process, users must list their GPU on the platform, detailing specifications, availability, and any other relevant information.

**Terms of Use:** Once the node is listed, prospective lenders set the terms of use, including pricing, usage parameters, and timeframes. Quantum GFX independently verifies all terms to ensure fairness.

**GPU Node Usage:** After establishing terms and finding a willing renter, payment processing begins, and utilization commences. Lenders have the option to receive payment in $GFX or Ethereum, offering flexibility.

**Node Payment and Ecosystem Participation:** Lenders earn $GFX from rental agreements on their hardware. This $GFX can then be staked, generating passive income through ecosystem participation.
